E-State Random Static

News blurbs from Vermont Public Radio.
G-20. Vermont is receiving 720 million of stimulus money. Direct bureaucratic D.C. control over town spending . Towns are required to put up money on top of it. Local IBM leasing space to a company called ASK-in TAG LLC, which is developing RFID tags for who-knows-what purpose. 7 Billion is being spent on the "Broadband Roll Out". Vermont wants to be a totally wired, an E-State. Health , education, everything all connected-for the ease of it, of course.

The circular wheels of a number of windmills loomed indistinct and gigantic through the darkness and snowfall, and roared with a varying loudness as the fitful white light smote up from below, touched the snow eddies with a transient glitter, and made an evanescent spectre in the night; and here and there, low down! some vaguely outlined wind-driven mechanism flickered with livid sparks." -H.G. Wells from When the Sleeper Wakes.

Tripods
In the BBC production of The Tripods, humans are "capped" around age 14. Kids are given a triangular, metallic cap is placed on the skull making them subservient to the "Masters". A select few work for the Tripods in their cities built over rivers. Uncapped humans infiltrate the city.
The protagonist Will Parker is eventually questioned by a being, controlling the Masters, with no apparent body. Few Masters are allowed to ever converse with this eminence.

Devo
